On top of that Avatar isn't exactly remembered or talked about anymore, and Cameron will be nearly 70 by the time he finishes up the series. I think the time has well passed for Avatar sequels and he should focus on original projects. Thank you! I remember watching a video by Cracked.com and they were talking about the highest grossing films of all time. They were also saying that Avatar, which was still the highest grossing film at the time, isn't truly remembered for its characters, lines, etc. They said that many of the other films on the highest grossing list are still quoted and watched often like Titanic and The Avengers.
And yes, I also wish that Cameron would just give up on these superfluous Avatar sequels already and work on original projects. But hey, that's his choice if he still wants to make those sequels. I just choose not to watch them. One was enough for me.

If the Avatar sequel ever happens I wonder if it'll be anywhere near as successful? A sequel isn't exactly in demand right now, whereas back then with Aliens and Terminator 2, both were very much highly anticipated. Of course it helped the originals were universally beloved, adding to the excitement for their sequels.

Of course it helped the originals were universally beloved, adding to the excitement for their sequels. I could be wrong but I don't think it'll be anywhere near as successful as the first film. Unlike Aliens and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, an Avatar sequel is rather unnecessary because the story was already complete. What else is there? Again, I could be wrong. As you said, a sequel isn't exactly in demand right now. Especially since the film is more remembered for its amazing visual effects and the first film in history to make it over $2 billion worldwide. As I've stated before, one of my biggest problems with the film is that the story wasn't that interesting and most of the characters were unlikable. So, Cameron has whole lot to work with if he wants the sequel to be truly compelling.

I personally feel far too much time has passed and the film just isn't culturally relevant, anymore. Cameron still has it in him for more original material and I feel he'd be wise to tackle that instead of churning out Avatar sequels nobody is really interested in anymore at this rate. The time for a sequel to finally materialize would've been at least 3 or 4 years ago.

On the subject of the MCU, I'm both excited yet concerned for Blade. I'm hoping we don't get a neutered PG-13 version of him and especially after the original films were a hard R that didn't hold back on the gore. Blade is one of the more violent Marvel heroes and he can't really be done justice if he's held back by a PG-13 rating. Marvel would be wise to start aiming some of their films at mature audiences, starting with Blade.

Marvel would be wise to start aiming some of their films at mature audiences, starting with Blade. I'm unfortunately more concerned for the new Blade movie than excited. I've been hearing some troubling stuff lately about how Marvel and Disney want to make it and the future Deadpool movies rated PG-13. Since Disney owns the rights to Blade, the X-Men, and the Fantastic Four, I don't put it past them to make the Marvel properties that are purposefully aimed at mature audiences PG-13. Remember. DISNEY IS MONEY HUNGRY AF!!! They're willing to neuter anything and everything as long as it gets them more money!   |

If fan backlash is intense enough maybe it'll convince Disney not to make the likes of Blade and Deadpool PG-13. That's just asking for trouble.

If Disney allows their GREED to continue to blind them, they're going to lose a whole lot more than just the money they crave. |

Now there's the fiasco with Spider-Man now to longer be part of the MCU due to something between Marvel and Sony. This will be so incredibly stupid on Sony's part if nothing is worked out.

Yeah, I've heard a lot about that. That's a HOT DAMN MESS! It's been said that Disney wanted over half of the box office earnings even though they don't own the movie rights to Spider-Man. Again, this goes back to Disney being GREEDY AF! SMH. |

If Spidey indeed won't be part of the MCU anymore then that screws over the MCU in so many ways, none good.

Plus, that means that Disney really shot themselves in both feet due to the way they've written Spidey in the MCU and how they treated him as a sidekick to Iron Man (WHICH IS A HUGE MISTAKE). |

It makes you wonder how the MCU will continue from hereon, especially since Spidey was set up to be a major character and player for future MCU films and it seems like they're setting him up to be a potential leader to The Avengers. None of this can obviously happen if he's out of the MCU.
